Mk2 orion same on the mk4 escort EFI
this is off one of the pipes to the fuel tank how the hell do you get them off and even back on again????
do they come apart or is it once attached brake off and get new



any info greatly apprecieated

 

try pushing the part just infront of the white part in with a screwdriver and pull the pipe as you do

 

thanx bud
i just found how to do it, its a fansy clamp with teeth clamping it on to the metal pipe just have to wack it off

 

yep - you need a spanner or pair of plier that fits around the pie so that you can push the bit coloured in red backwards while pulling the pipes apart - you might need to spray it up with wd40 to clean out the grit from it first

 

explained much better there, ta m8ty

 

markc, told you this is the place you would find me.

As above, however i find 2 small screwdrivers best. And the other thing ive learn't is to use the screw drivers not only to push the clip in, but to also push the pipe off. Pushing with screwdrivers/your designated tool and pulling the pipe doesn't seem anywhere near as effective, and ive struggled with a lot of these

 

and..

thanx im gonna make up a tool tho so i dont end up damaging it

 

Just saying like, the post count should say something but how much time i spend on here compared to the Orion Register

A tool will always be handy, but being realistic its very hard to damage them if you use a couple of small precison screw drivers. Just for your info, presuming your car is EFI, look at the clip holding the brake servo pipe into the inlet plenum, they are exactly the same

 

again and...

and thanx for the info will keep it in mind also i noticed that meself not long ago but ta anyway.

 

Ah fair enough if your still being stroppy!

 

im perfectly fine as it goes but thanx for caring

 

Give us a shout if theres ever anything you need help with.

I hope theres no hard feelings!

 

no worries lifes to short and all that.

 

MarkC - do you live in Chelmsford?

Just wondering because I sold my old 1600E interior to someone called MarkC a couple of years back!

 

o fook yeah hello, it was going to go in the grey orion but i have a nice red one in currently restoring u mite of seen it
shes my baby



while thats off the road im in this lil beast at the mo lol


have you still got that rs2k?

 

Looking good mate, - tidy Orions are very scarce these days. Good to see the interior's still looking the bollox. 6 years in my old mans loft obviously didn't do it any harm...

I've sold the RS2000 and the RS1600i now and replaced them with an EsCos and a Mk3 Escort 1.6 i cabriolet. Still miss the RS16i though - that thing was like a go-kart. Could do about 50 around the B&Q roundabout and it loved revving .

I've got a spare superchip for an EFi CVH down the shed if you want one lol...

 

o yeah please

yeah i try and keep it in best condition i can, i stays covered till the shows

ah good choice gotta love the cossies , shame about the 1600i that was immaculate if i remember rightly, u musta got a good price for it

you on msn still? wack this in markcwazere@hotmail.com
would be lovely to see the cossie
